"Good news.. AOC says in less than 11 years you will be wiped out "
"Didn't say that".
"The world is gonna end in 12 years if we don’t address climate change "
See? She said we'll be wiped out if we don't listen to her and do something soon. Thanks for listening, Florida. Keep up the good work.
The Sunshine State is finally living up to its billing
California has always been top dog in terms of U.S. solar and record headlines. Every quarter, the Golden State has topped rankings and the questions were only ever how much bigger California would be than rival markets, and which states would come in second and third.
But this year marks a departure from that path. According to the latest numbers in the quarterly Solar Energy Industries Association/Wood Mackenzie Power & Renewables Solar Market Insight report, a whopping 860 MWdc was installed in Florida in Q1, compared to California’s 538 MW – the first time since 2012 any state has bettered California on a quarterly basis.
US installs record 2.7GW of solar in first quarter of 2019
The United States experienced its best first quarter ever for new solar installations over the first three months of 2019, installing a record 2.7GW of new capacity, the most new solar ever installed in a first quarter.
Further, Wood Mackenzie Power & Renewables expects 2019 to see 25 per cent growth over last year, with more than 13GW of new capacity expected to be installed by year’s end.
